Katsura Knife Making Kit – YOU determine the best knife handle material to suit your needs!

Experience has taught us that there’s nothing like digging in and getting started. Even, if you’ve never made a knife before you can try your crafting skills with simple or makeshift tools! The thrill of carving, grinding, shaping, and buffing your own handle is unbelievably satisfying. Be proud of what you can create even if the end result is less than perfect.
The KATSURA AUS-10 Forged Small Santoku Knife Blank comes with a blade blank only, allowing for a design-it-yourself handle made from the material of your choice. We recommend using Micarta, softwood, hardwood, Purple Heart wood, metal or even cast resin!

My grandfather, Roman Yoder, started our company in Northeast Ohio with a vision to provide high-quality bed hardware to Amish furniture builders in our community. Through his designs and dedication, he built a foundation of trust and quality that we’re proud to carry forward today.

When I took over in 2017, I was inspired by my grandfather's dedication but also saw an opportunity to grow. While we continue to serve Amish furniture builders with the same personalized care, we’ve expanded our offerings to include table legs, sewing machine lifts, router templates, and poly lumber. We’ve loved watching our products find their way into the hands of DIY enthusiasts and furniture makers nationwide through our online store....
